It's always possible that Lucas, especially judging from his comments on the MTV interview, really and truly didn't think that the OOT would sell well. I would make perfect sense for a remastered OOT to appear sometime in the future, and soon, particularly in the 2007 box. I just don't want to get my hopes up and then have them dashed.
I think Lucas is a pretty downright evil business man...smart, but evil. I sometimes feel like he made those comments in a mocking way, to get more people to buy them. He KNOWS and has known the demand for these is there, so for him to play it off like he is not sure is a total joke IMO.
Money talks and bullshit walks. Leonard Nimoy didn't like playing Mr. Spock either, but when he was offered enough money, he put the ears back on. Lucas has seen how pissed off fans got at the treatement of the OOT in the September release, and he knows that there is a market for a restoration. It's just a question of how willing he is to put aside his ego.

Well let's use the angle that he didn't want these OUT releases for a second. But they are out today anyway, aren't they? So he put aside his ego long enough to allow these to come out! If it can happen once, it is sure to happen again becasuse these are selling like hot cakes. LFL has shown us all time and time again that they will go back on their words, lie, bend the truth, etc., if they can make a buck off of it...IMO the OUT will be no exception, and we will see it again, completely remastered and restored...
